In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of installing RStudio Server on Debian.
To get started with this tutorial, you will need a Debian system with sudo privileges.
Before we begin, let's make sure that the system is up-to-date:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
Next, let's install R:
sudo apt install r-base
To install RStudio Server, you will need to download the latest version from the RStudio website:
wget https://download2.rstudio.org/server/latest/rstudio-server-latest-amd64.deb
Once downloaded, install RStudio Server using the following command:
sudo dpkg -i rstudio-server-latest-amd64.deb
This will install RStudio Server and its dependencies.
After installation, we need to configure RStudio Server to listen on the correct port. Edit the following file using your favorite text editor:
sudo nano /etc/rstudio/rserver.conf
Add the following line to the file:
www-port=80
This will configure RStudio Server to listen on port 80.
Now that RStudio Server is installed and configured, let's start it:
sudo rstudio-server start
You can verify that RStudio Server is running by visiting http://<your-server-ip> in your web browser.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed RStudio Server on Debian. You can now use RStudio Server to interactively develop R programs and data visualizations.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
